Because the game between Arsenal and Wolves is likely to be an Oriental derby.
So today’s live broadcast commentary invited Zhan Jun and Teacher Zhang again.
When the two teams were warming up, Zhan Jun sighed: "I hope Du Wenliang can play today. Because in the history of the Premier League, the Oriental Derby has not appeared for a long time."
Teacher Zhang smiled and said: "One thing is difficult. Everyone still needs to calm down. Also, Arsenal must win this game, otherwise, it will be difficult to compete for the fourth place."
Zhan Jun agreed: "Yes. Although Chelsea lost the Europa League before, they also got rid of a burden and can now compete for the top four!"
However, Teacher Zhang added, "However, Chelsea still has an FA Cup match, and they might even collide with Arsenal!"
Zhan Jun said with emotion: "That's right. Now it's time to compete in the most exciting and exciting competition for the top four. I don't know who will have the last laugh!"
...
In the Arsenal dressing room,
Head coach Wenger was giving a final mobilization speech with a serious tone.
"Boys, you should all know. Chelsea has lost the Europa League, which is not good news for us!"
"Do you know why? Because they are out of third-line combat, they will definitely have an advantage over us in terms of physical fitness in the future!"
"Fortunately, Tottenham have not lost the Champions League yet, and they will probably play until the end..."
"Think about it, there are only 8 rounds left now. We must not lose this game and the rest of the league! Everyone must exert their full strength without any slack! Because this will affect our previous efforts. Will all your hard work and sweat be in vain?”
At the end of the speech, Professor Wenger looked at everyone present seriously.
Everyone's expressions became more or less solemn.
However, Wenger stopped at the point and did not say much. He only wanted to emphasize the current situation. Any more words would be pretentious.
As a meritorious head coach, Wenger will do his best from beginning to end to put everyone in the position that suits them!
And in the end, success or failure,
It also depends on what each player is thinking and whether they are willing to work together...
"Professor, don't worry, we will definitely return to the top four this time!" K6 suddenly stood up first. He spoke seriously every word with high morale.
"Yes, I think so too!" Zhaka suddenly stood up.
"Me too!" Lacazette stood up.
"Me too!" "Me too!"
Iwobi stood up, Fang Fang stood up, Saka also stood up... In the end, everyone stood up together.
Everyone has an unyielding fighting spirit on their faces!
After the huge reversal against Rennes, even they themselves didn't know that the entire team had quietly undergone some transformation.
At this moment, they can clearly stand on the same front!
"Okay, let's work together!"
This was completely beyond Wenger's expectations. His eyes fluctuated a bit. He didn't expect to see such a scene of unity in the locker room again.
...
In this game, Arsenal played a 433 formation.
The equation still plays in the midfielder position.
The opposite Wolves team has a 4231 formation, and Du Wenliang is still on the bench.
As soon as the game begins,
The Wolves' formation pressed out and they quickly attacked for a while.
Especially for Arsenal's midfielder position!
Fang Fang did not live up to the trust of the head coach, and his performance today was still very stable.
As soon as he stops the ball with his left foot, he releases the ball with his right foot, and vice versa. He passes and receives the ball very quickly!
This is the advantage of the two-legged monster. There is no so-called dominant foot, and the opponent has no way to target it.
Occasionally, Fang Fang can hit the ball with one kick, without giving him a chance to get up to his body.
Coupled with his clever movement and "hawk eye on the court", this completely makes up for his shortcomings of not being a physical player.
Therefore, when Wolves forward Jimenez was chasing Equation, because he could not win the ball, he became anxious and used small moves against Equation twice in a row.
However, today's referee Mike Dean was very sharp and decisively called Jimenez two behind-the-back fouls!
There was no way, the Wolves couldn't steal the ball, so they had no choice but to retreat!
He chose to put up a strong and stubborn iron barrel array.
After all, this is their only magic weapon to rank 7th in the league in 29 rounds!
So far, the Wolves have scored 37 goals and conceded 35. This data perfectly illustrates the balance of offense and defense, literally.
Except for the big6 teams, only the Wolves conceded the fewest goals in the entire league!
Wolves head coach Nuno Espirito Santo is also from Portugal and is nicknamed Little Mourinho.
And because of their in-depth cooperation with super agent Mendes, most of the players on their team are Portuguese, so it is reasonable to play well on defensive counterattacks.
So, after getting through the opening stage without any danger,
The initiative on the field came to Arsenal.
Fang Fang instantly felt that the pressure around him was much less.
Because his teammates all pressed forward, squeezing the Wolves' formation very flat.
The forward teammates are patiently using passes and interspersed runs to slowly create space for goals!
However, the Wolves performed very tenaciously. They are very accustomed to such passive scenes, and rarely make mistakes in defense.
Thirty minutes into the game, Arsenal only had two shots on target and one corner kick.
Lacazette was exhausted from fighting with his opponent near the penalty area.
After much effort, he managed to create a free kick.
Originally, Lacazette wanted to take the penalty himself, but when he turned around, he saw that there was not even a trace of sweat left behind in the equation.
Lacazette lost his temper and immediately waved to Fang Fang, "Come here quickly, you take the free kick!!"
Fang Fang was startled, "Me? Why did you let me go? Didn't you score the last free kick?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Lacazette said unconvinced, "Who made it easy for you kid!"
Fang Fang laughed,
Okay, so in the eyes of his teammates, he is just a bastard who plays as a defensive midfielder?
"But I haven't scored a free kick twice already!!"
Before taking the penalty, Equation specially emphasized it.
"Cut the nonsense!"
However, Lacazette still pushed the football into his arms.
Fang Fang sighed helplessly, it seemed that he was the only one to be punished.
I looked at the distance,
It's about 35 yards away from the goal, very far to the right, a bit difficult...
As the referee blew his whistle, Fang Fang had no choice but to kick the football out.
I saw the football go over the wall, and then I heard a thud, and "iron strike" again!
The football hit the crossbar at the near corner, scaring the Wolves goalkeeper into a cold sweat!
After the kick, Fang Fang spread his hand to Lacazette, as if to say:
You see, I really can’t score!
Lacazette narrowed his eyes suspiciously, feeling that something was wrong with this kid!
It seems to be saying, are you acting?
Three minutes later, Saka was knocked down outside the penalty area while cutting inside.
Arsenal get another free kick opportunity.
This time, Lacazette still didn't believe in evil and once again gave the free kick opportunity to Equation.
Saka stood by curiously and wanted to see if he had lost his "spirituality".
The equation couldn't laugh or cry.
It's really hard to get off the tiger...
It seems that his teammates are really competing with his metaphysical probabilities.
